The Back-flue Is
The Back-bone
Of A Range
No range can last longer
than its Back-flue
Yet the back-flue is the catch
all of a range. There concen
trates soot and acids and salts
and moisture and everything
that goes through a range.
True, you seldom or never see
the back-flue of a range—but
when it rusts out the range is
done for.
Some ranges don’t last as
long as its back-flue, but when
the sweaty asbestos was clad
with copper to stop inside rust
the Copper-Clad Range lasted so
long that a better back-flue be
came necessary. Nothing is too
good for a Copper-Clad so a
solid one-piece malleable back
flue was provided—the first ever
put on a range—and the only
one. It can’t crack, break, nor
rust.
The Copper-Clad Range is as
pretty as a picture and cleans
like a dish.

over the country, the south suffering
from frigid weather as well as the
north. Commencing last Friday night
it has been below zero every day and
night since, last night being the cold

This has been a very severe winter,
even the oldest inhabitants failing to
remember a December and January
as cold as this one has been.
A return dance was given to the

very much in evidence with the first
dance a domino dance, the girls masked
and dancing together and their part

dance was real spectacular and the
camouflage afforded much amusement.

Mrs. C. E. Stout and her corps of

on sale at the postoffice. Ed. F. Gal
lagher, chairman of the Holt County
Thrift Stamp Campaign Committee;
promised the young ladies a supper at
the Golden Hotel if their sales for the
week reached $10,000. The sales the
first week reached $7,700, the last two
days of the week being so cold that
not very many people were in town or
they would have exceeded the $10,
000.00 mark. Mr. Gallagher says Mrs.
Stout and her capable assistants done
such good work that he is going to
give them the supper anyhow and
they will partake of the feast tomor
row evening. It will take hard work
on the part of the citizens in all parts
of the county if Holt County sells its
allotted share of thrift stamps, but
with hard, energetic work it can be
accomplished. Everyone should put
their shoulder to the wheel and push,
and their hands in their pockets and
dig.
Wyant Garage Burned.
The Walter Wyant garage, on
lower Fourth street, was gutted by
fire this moring and five automobiles
were destroyed, entailing a loss that
Mr. Wyant estimates at $3,000.00;
$2,500.00 loss on the cars and $500
damage to the building.
The car desroyed were: A New
Liberty Six, valued at $1,300; one
new Ford Copue, valued at $550; one
new Ford Touring car, $400; two
second hand cars, one valued at $150
and one valued at $100. The building
being of brick about the only damage
to it was to the roof. Mr. Wyant
carried no insurance on the cars or
the building so it was a total loss.
The fire was discovered about 11
o’clock and had gained such headway
when discovered that about the only
thing the department could do was to
prevent the flames from spreading to
the other bulidings adjacent thereto.
The Art Wyant garage, joining it on
the north, contained some cars but
they were taken from the building,
but the fire was confined to the Walt
Wyant garage.

SELLS FOR LESS
sidy introduced the speaker of the
evening. Mr. Hammond is a pleasing
speaker, with a wonderful vocabularly
and notwithstanding the frigid
air of the room the vast audience
sat spell-bound as they listened to the
story of conditions in France and
Belgium as he saw them.
Mr. Hammond said that he had
recently returned from a trip of
fifteen hundred miles along the battle
front and the sounds heard during that
journey still continue to ring in his
ears; the booming of cannon, the
bursting of shells, the humming of
aeroplanes and the spatter of small
arms. Hillsides covered with graves
and hospitals fulled with wounded are
sights that he seen and never can
forget.
He said that while he was in no way
responsible for the present admnistra
tion, since the war begun he has been
and would continue to be a loyal sup
porter of the government but he be
lieved that we are facing the greatest
crisis in the history of our govern
ment, that the greatest men in the
nation should be called to assist in the
conduct of the war, and for that
reason he favored a collation cabinet.
He said that in making up that cabinet
he would put the man that is the best
equipped man in the world for the
position and one that would make the
cold chills run down the back of the
Kaiser, Theodore Roosevelt, as
secretary of war. The outburst
of handclapping that greeted
thi3 statement was conclusive proof
that the audience thought Teddy was
the man- for the place.
He said that he left Paris for a trip
to the battle fields in automobiles with
an escourt of two French officers. He
described their first stop on their
journey when they reached the village
Moue, on the Marne, eighteen miles
from Paris, near Verdun, where the
German army was stopped on their
triumphal march through France. He
described Verdun as the greatest bat
tle field in history. Verdun before the
war, he said, was a prosperous little
city of 50,000 and now it has not an
inhabitant, the town being completely
destroyed. The fort at Verdun, which
was so successfully defended by the
French, was built in 1640 and on the
hills around that fort he said that
300,000 French and over half a million
Germans had given their lives. He
said that it is estimated that six men
died on every square yard of ground
around the fort.
He was a witness to one battle
| where the Germans were hurling
shells over their heads and the French
were responding with shell for shell.
Aeroplanes, the giant beetles of the
clouds, were in the thick of the fight.
They are the calvary of the clouds.
They are tragic and entrancing, the
eye of the army, and he said that as
soon as America coud get into action
the thousands of aeroplanes that they
are now getting ready for the battle
front that it would end the war, for
they wero absolutely necessary for the
success of the army.
He said that his party visited the
American troops in France. He said
that they were a little bigger, a little
more erect, clearer of eye and moe
like the ideal soldier than anytheyhad
seen in their journey, the boys from
the United States. He urged the
people not to get impatient and told
them that the American army would
have to dredge harbors, build docks;
that the lumber for the docks would
have to be cut in the forest in Franc?.
Railroads would have to be built to
carry the supplies from the docks to
the front and that this country would
have to man them.
The party also visited the Flanders
front, in Belgium, and met King Al
fred. He said that Belgium, which
formerly contained a population of
7,000,000 is now only a little country
1x20 miles and Belgiums little army is
holding part of the line on that front.
Mr. Hammond’s speech was in
tensely interesting and was greatly
enjoyed by the audience. At the con
clusion of his address the audience
rrose and sang America.
